Everyone on the hill for Saturday (5 Viewers)

[Cheshire Sky Blue]

No Hill on Sunday, I have been told Police will not allow it this Sunday!!!. Apparently this happens on certain games when Northampton are playing at sixfields....

stgeorge. Can you advise who was it stated that there will be a ban on the hill on Sunday and what authority they have. You may well be correct, but as preventing people gathering would be a violation of civil liberties the authorities have to make a case for restrictions and then make public why. Sounds too Orwellian but may well be true.

Personally I think a trick has been missed here. If there hadn't been such a split created between those going to sixfields and those not, perhaps we all could have come together for the one game which is broadcasted on TV and boycotted it.

It would also show that even those who choose to go agree that they'd rather be in coventry.

But unfortunately the abuse, which has gone both ways, has probably scuppered the chance of this ever happening.

 

[Spionkop]

Ignore the posts about the hill being blocked off. It is a nasty miserable ploy by obvious candidates on here to put people off going.
It looks like there will be a much bigger turnout on the hill for this televised game.
Inside it will be desolate as usual.

 

[pusbccfc]

You wouldn't need 1000 police officers though would you really. A handful of police and a couple of signs, and the hope that if it is closed our fans won't be bellends about it and respect the decision.

Honestly, it would be so hard for them to block it off.

What will they do? Arrest me for standing on a public footpath?

 

[swisstony]

Totally agree about not upsetting the kids,but turning it on its head my kids want to go to home games as well as away ones.
The boycott is all part of trying to kcic for these future generations.
Ill be on the hill !!!

Protest en mass outside the ricoh then

Same sentiment , a few emails towards local and national press , if we're all lazy as you ' jokingly ' tell us then no one will
P Show
Also none of you get accused of watching a game for free , obviously you'd need to get numbers like the coventry walk to show it was successful

You will the same amount of Sky coverage as standing on a Hill mate , the protest thing is becoming a hated lonely figure , you only have to hear the lack of sisu out chants at away games to see that

Do the ricoh protest , it's in coventry , if you're as sure as you think you are regarding numbers then loads will surely turn up

I for one am sick and tired of , well known sisu out and Jimmy Hill attendees rejecting our right not to protest -
If you were behind the goal sunday you would have seen one calling out the whole crowd as wankers because we wouldn't join in , take me home ricoh ' song , but now you're blindly asking us to stand shoulder to shoulder with the same people on the Hill?

It's been proved the Hill protest isn't the greatest , time for another direction , protest at ricoh during games

What a load of Rubbish.
Northampton and West Midlands police are well aware of what is happening on the Hill Sunday.
The Police would rather we were on the hill than down by the stadium.
I suggest you try it out one day.

Why on earth would anyone want to stand outside an empty stadium while a game is live on tv?
We need everyone to see we do not accept this situation.
Stop being one of these lazy people and go watch a free game and make a statement at same time?

Your a fragile one if one fan has put you off protesting for what is right !!!!

Watch a free game with most the pitch blocked by a stand?
I'm going just to make a point, it will frustrate me if I try and watch the game.

Also from above. As for standing outside the Ricoh, what would be the point? No one would even know we were there!
Get over to Northampton for a one off at least, who knows it may improve our case in respect of showing fans are there but they don't support playing in Northampton.

Tbh Italia the view isn't too bad...

Better than listening to CWR anyway...

 

[Mrpipes]

Oh you wanna protest but you wanna make sure you can protest whilst watching the game , but you won't go to sixfields ?
Okay now I'm confused

I have my own protest , I wear civic colours every home and away games , I haven't called anyone a wanker or scab but I am getting a message across each week , I had 10 people ask me what the scarf was all about this week , and I intend to try and pass Tim fisher a scarf before the next home game I attend at kick off , don't brand me lazy , I for one would not go sunday just to stand at ricoh with a bring me home banner

[Mrpipes]

It hasn't , but a few around me wanted to knock him out , I'm not into that kind of thing , but if I stood at the front and called everyone a wanker , then I must belooking for retaliation , was it you?
The guy in question has been very vocal all last season in ricoh and this season no the Hill , if he thinks calling people a wanker is going to get him onside then fair play to him , but I can tell you it's not the way forward is it

Your a fragile one if one fan has put you off protesting for what is right !!!!

To add , I'm also a visual protester , everyone will see me at one point this season with my scarf , not a faceless forum dweller that most on here are , I actually get seen doing what I believe in , 90% on here do not

No its not the right way i agree.
I didn't hear said person but that is probably down to where i was plenty were singing take me home.
At the end of the day we all should know the difference between right and wrong.
It is wrong that we are playing home matches at Sixfields !!!!!

 

[Ashdown1]

I'd love to join, however my daughter is mascot for the day. It's our first match this season. We've missed going so much! I wondered how I'd feel about it bit I'm actually looking forward to it. I'd like to ask, while I'm here that anyone protesting, amongst the anger, remember my daughter and the other children that will be there. They only want to see Sam and their heroes playing the sport they love! Send the message but don't ruin their experience. They're at the age we all were when we fell in love with the game and the sky blues.

Except when I did, we finished 6th in Division 1 with packed crowds playing superb football in the best kit we've ever had and performing in our home City !! Oh for 77-78 again !

 

[Mrpipes]

Oh 100% wrong , this dick posing has gone on far too long
Can we not organise another March? It's the ONLY thing that has caught the imagination

No its not the right way i agree.

[Mrpipes]

If Sky mention the Hill protest for more than a throw away remark i'll eat my hat
Getting media attention is the starting point , Sky isn't their to be a platform for our troubles , local media were all over the walk , but it didn't even dent anywhere else , who can't we get a walk at ALL AWAY GAMES ! We organise football matches with every away team before the game , can't we get something like this going and bring in the other fans too ! I know from what we've heard that no one likes what has become of ccfc , what real football fan does?

Mrpipes,

We all have our own opinion on how we should protest and most of us respect that. Most City fans believe that the most effective action is to starve the owners of income, that's just another opinion.

Do not think that one man giving abuse is reflective of the majority or the people on the Hill. To do so is to be as small minded as he is.


As for the bloke on here telling us that the Hill is to be closed off by the Police, he is either a wum or SISU imposter. I am expecting the usual cries of 'paranoia' for accusing him of the latter but I really would not be surprised, nor would I be surprised if any scuffles between the Hillers and fans inside the ground had been planned. These are very clever and underhanded people that run our club.

 

[Mrpipes]

And I did it in the 80's with crowds of 11,000 and no one in the West terrace
You can't for one minute argue the Kids away from sixfields , were already on suicide watch , don't wanna give em the shovel

Except when I did, we finished 6th in Division 1 with packed crowds playing superb football in the best kit we've ever had and performing in our home City !! Oh for 77-78 again !

 

[Mrpipes]

Would you be so sure of non attendance if we played in nuneaton?

Realistically, more people would make the trip of course. That doesn't make it any less wrong though.

 

[skyblueref]

I'm not too fussed about going to Northampton as I go to support the team and it's probably closer as well. But what I don't get is all those that are against the move to Northampton appear on the hill, now of course everyone had there right to protest and Sunday will be a great example but if your that against the move why come over anyway ?

I want to make my stance and watch the game without Sisu gaining a penny.

 

[sky blue john]

I haven't made my mind up yet if i will be on the hill yet Sunday or at home / pub.
The problem is that the hill protest is the best option of a poor list of protest ideas !!!!

Is it honestly that difficult to understand?

I reckon. Boycott like thousands of others.

There is no doubt that the vast majority are simply boycotting - myself included.

What I was responding to was the professed inability to understand why some of the people who disagreed with the move of the club to Northampton would go to Northampton (i.e. where the club has been moved to, where it is now playing its matches) to protest.

Bluntly if this is beyond anyone's comprehension......... - well, it's really not that complicated.

Ha Ha Ha.....That is Paranoid as fuck though!

To suggest that SISU have orchestrated a couple of pissed blokes to shout at each other in Northampton is ludicrous in the extreme......Ha Ha Ha.


PS: Whilst I don't believe it, it is certainly not beyond the realms of possibility that the police decide to block access to the hill based on fans internet activity suggesting missles & fireworks being launched from there.....just saying....

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Because we need to keep showing our distaste in what is happening.

If more people turned up each week then it would have been harder to ignore but people would rather slag off others actions. I for one feel better going onj the hill and tieing ribbons around the City that is my choice, you feel sitting at home will suffice that is your choice, others feel that packing out the Ground will work that is there choice.

To many people slag off any thing that is mentioned even the march was slagged off when it was being organised.

Shame really people should be allowed to do what they feel is right without all this constant abuse and being called unprofessional and the likes (after all most of us aren't professionals or even want to be).

The only thing most of us disagree with is who's fault it all is and the % of that blame. ( I for one blame SISU 90% others ACL

But the one thing is most of us are United in Coventry should play in Coventry.

I agree with you entirely.

and yet it's beyond the realms of possibility that SISU could orchestrate anything that works in their favour? Something as simple as a bloke causing trouble on the Hill. I'm not saying it's likely but you shouldn't rule it out, to do so would be naïve.

Some day, I'll write up how you might manipulate the rules of the game on this message board (using my own cultural authority to do so ). Alas, any evidence on here would come down highly on ACL manipulating the rules of the game, if anybody...

Or it could all be bollocks of course

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Correct started by a fan coming out the ground last week but oh yes it has to be the ones on the Hills fault as they are all stupid and hooligans not real supporters.

Sorry but if wound up anything could happen because none of us are happy with the current situation and if the team lose then all the fans are even more pissed off,
